- This book is useful to teacher educators and researchers on graduate courses in education, teaching, learning and assessment.
Exploration of subject in significant depth with valuable further sources identified in comprehensive reference lists.
Good consolidation of idears and theory of practice.
Very useful in all areas of the curriculum - especially within professional studies.
A very informative and reflective guide for post graduate trainee teachers
17 very well-written chapters divided into four distinct parts.
Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in the purpose, impact and the effectiveness of different assessment methods.
A most attractive structure, well organised and valuable illustrated examples.
This is an excellent textbook that covers the bases of assessmet practice. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get behind the theory associated with assessment for learning but it is not a practical guide to technique which might be more useful for trainee teachers.
This book brings together articles about key areas of assessment, which are relevant and up-to-date. Several of my students have bought copies and found it an excellent source of information for their assignments on Assessment.
A useful collection of published works appropriate for DTLLS Module 2.
This second edition is a worthy follow on from the previous edition: extant chapters have been refreshed and six new chapters now included. The authorial writing style makes the book an accessible and thought-provoking read for all who are interested in understanding learning.
